Move In The Park Brings “Zootopia 2” Under the Stars at Helen Meyer Community Center

Movie In The Park returns on April 24, 2026, transforming the Helen Meyer Community Center into an open-air cinema for a free community screening of Zootopia 2. Hosted by Commissioner Naft, the evening begins at 7:00 PM and invites families, neighbors, and friends to gather outdoors for a relaxed night of film, connection, and community spirit.

Designed as a welcoming, family-friendly event, Movie In The Park encourages attendees to arrive early, settle in, and enjoy a shared experience under the evening sky. It’s an easygoing way for the community to come together and enjoy a major animated feature in a casual outdoor setting.

Community Connection Beyond the Film

In addition to the movie screening, the event places a strong emphasis on community engagement and local resources. Animal rescues and organizations will be on-site, offering guests a chance to learn more about animal welfare initiatives and the work being done throughout the valley.

Animal Resources and Services will also be present, adding an educational layer to the evening while connecting residents with helpful community support programs. It’s a thoughtful mix of entertainment and outreach, designed to bring awareness and connection into a relaxed, enjoyable setting.

A Dog-Friendly Evening for All

Movie In The Park is also a dog-friendly event, welcoming leashed pets to join their families for a night out under the stars. It’s a true community gathering where neighbors can bring their dogs, enjoy the film, and connect with others who share a love for animals.

With free admission, engaging local organizations, and a relaxed outdoor movie atmosphere, this event offers a simple but meaningful way to enjoy time together while supporting both community connection and animal-focused causes.
